Zhang Xiu reacted, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes." Then he said to the axe man beside him: "You all stand down!" The swordsmen couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, and they retreated.

The atmosphere that followed was very congenial.

It was nearly midnight, Sima Lang returned to the small courtyard, and Yang Wei and the others, who were waiting anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, you're finally back! If it's a little bit late, I'll kill the Taishou Mansion later!

Sima Lang smiled, and then said to Yang Wei: "I have basically convinced Zhang Xiu, but..."

"Is there anything wrong with it, sir?" Yang Wei asked.

Sima Lang glanced at Yang Wei and asked, "If you want to assassinate someone in the pavilion, can you do it?"

Although Yang Wei didn't understand what Sima Lang meant, he replied affirmatively: "Although there are soldiers guarding the pavilion, we can still do it easily with our ability!"

Sima Lang nodded, thinking. Yang Wei looked at Sima Lang, although his heart was full of doubts, he didn't talk nonsense.

After a while, Sima Lang said to Yang Wei with a solemn face: "Yang Wei, tonight you take all the people to the post house to attack and kill Yuan Shao's envoy!"

Yang Wei showed excitement on his face and hugged his fists in agreement.

"The stakes are high, and we must not miss it!" Sima Lang admonished. "Sir, don't worry!"

......

At night, the inn seemed very quiet, and several soldiers at the door were dozing off with their guns. There were two teams of soldiers patrolling the courtyard of the inn, each team of ten people, and each of them looked absent-minded.

Yuan Shao's envoy Xin Bi settled in the West Cross Courtyard, Xin Bi lived in the main house, and the more than 50 entourages who accompanied him lived in the side room. It was pitch black and very quiet in the West Courtyard.

Dozens of black shadows evaded the patrols on the street and came to the outer wall of the post house, and after observing for a while, they quickly climbed over the wall and entered the post house, and their skills were very agile. Then he went straight to the west across the courtyard. These black-clothed men were none other than Yang Wei and dozens of iron guards under him.

As we approached the West Courtyard, a patrol arrived. The guards quickly dispersed into the darkness and hid.

When the patrol team casually passed not far from where Yang Wei was hiding, an iron guard beside Yang Wei made a neck cutting gesture towards Yang Wei, he was asking for instructions on whether to kill this patrol group. Yang Wei shook his head, Yang Wei didn't want to make extraneous branches if it wasn't necessary. However, at this moment, a patrol soldier actually ran towards Yang Wei, and all the iron guards were taken aback, and everyone held the handle of the knife, ready to draw the knife out of its sheath.

The patrolman ran to a stop only two steps away from Yang Wei, unbuttoned his pants, and then the sound of 'squirping' sounded, Yang Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still held his breath and didn't dare to make a little movement, so as not to be discovered by the patrolman who was close at hand. The patrol took a soak of urine at Yang Wei's feet and left.

As soon as the patrol turned out of the archway, dozens of guards immediately emerged from the darkness. Immediately came to the gate of the West Crossing Courtyard, Yang Wei left more than a dozen iron guards to hide in the darkness at the door, and as a response, he led the others into the courtyard. Divided into several teams to sneak into each side room, Yang Wei himself and two iron guards gently pried open the door of the main room.

Early the next morning, Yi Cheng came to see Zhang Xiu in a hurry.

"General, no! Mr. Simbi and his entourage of fifty-two people all died in the inn!

Zhang Xiu was taken aback, and Huo Di stood up, "What! Yi Cheng said it again.

Zhang Xiu frowned, and her heart became a mess. Suddenly, the guards came to report, "General, Mr. Sima, the envoy of the Northern Army, asks to see you!"

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "It must have been Sima Lang who did this!" It's so deceitful! Then he sighed: "What a good means! I was so negligent! "

General, do you want to see Mr. Sima?" Han Tong on the side asked.

Zhang Xiu said helplessly: "Now that Xin Bi is dead, I have no choice!" Mr. Sima, please! "Yes."

The next day, Zhang Xiu's army made a move, and Zhang Xiu personally led 50,000 elites out of Wancheng to the east to attack Runan.

And Yuan Shao was unaware of all this. Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xizheng, led an army of nearly 300,000 to Luoyang day and night. An army of nearly 300,000 formed a long dragon of more than ten miles, and everyone looked very tired, but Yuan Xi still kept urging.

"Second son, march in such a hurry, you won't be able to fight when you reach Luoyang!" Gan Ning said bluntly.

Although Gan Ning has the ability, Yuan Xi doesn't like him, Yuan Xi feels that Gan Ning is against him everywhere to rob his prestige. Yuan Xi asked unhappily: "Luoyang is in danger now, and everyone in our army is eager to rush to Luoyang immediately, but why are you not in a hurry at all?"

Gan Ning pursed his lips and said disapprovingly: "I'm anxious to have a fart!" Rushing to Luoyang like this is just sending a group of pigs!

"Gan Ning, don't be too presumptuous!" Yuan Xi pulled out his sword and said angrily, and all the generals around Yuan Xi also frowned, they all felt that Gan Ning's words were too ugly.

Gan Ning glanced at Yuan Xi contemptuously, and teased Yuan Xi with the corner of his eye. Yuan Xi was so angry that he couldn't do it, but after all, he didn't dare to really swing his knife and pounce on it.

"I've already said what I need to say, it's up to you to do whatever you want, as long as you don't hug your Uncle Gan's thigh and cry when the time comes!" Gan Ning picked his ears and said casually. After that, he left with a smile.

Looking at Gan Ning's back, Yuan Xi's eyes breathed fire, and he couldn't wait to release a cold arrow.

"Second son, this Gan Ning is really arrogant!" A subordinate general added fuel to the fire. Immediately, all the ministries will chimed in.

"When I retire from the Northern Army, I'll talk to him again!" Yuan Xi said fiercely.

Gan Ning whistled back to his team, and Sun Jiang greeted him.

"Sun Jiang, give the order to go down and camp on the spot!"

Sun Jiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did the second prince follow the general's advice?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said contemptuously: "No matter how his grandfather Gan persuades, that little white face just doesn't listen to advice!" This little white face still wants to fight with the Northern Army, it's a joke!

Sun Jiang was taken aback, "General, the second son is the boss, without his orders, it's not good for us to act without permission!"

"Whatever he does!" Gan Ning said as a matter of course. Seeing that Sun Jiang was still grinding here, his eyes widened, "What are you still doing?"

Sun Jiang reluctantly clenched his fists and promised, and at the same time felt a little worried in his heart, and a little crying and laughing.

Gan Ning's 30,000 men and horses broke away from the brigade and began to camp in full view of everyone. Many of the leading generals thought that the order to camp had been issued, so they also ordered their men and horses to camp.

Yuan Xi, who was marching in the Chinese army, heard his subordinates report that the soldiers of each battalion were camping, and he was taken aback, and hurriedly led people to the front to check, and sure enough, he saw that all battalions had stopped advancing and were camping in full swing. Yuan Xi was suddenly furious, and without the order of his boss, he camped without authorization, which simply didn't take him as a coach in his eyes!

He found a leading general nearby and asked, "Who told you to set up camp?" The

general was stunned for a moment, and replied very suspiciously: "Isn't it your order from the second son?" "When the fuck did I give the order" Under the anger, Yuan Xi's tone was very similar to Gan Ning.

"Huh?!" , The general showed a surprised look, and then said suspiciously: "But why did the deputy governor set up camp?" "The deputy governor is Gan Ning, in other words, Gan Ning is the deputy commander of this army, which shows that Yuan Shao still values Gan Ning very much.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then roared with a flushed face: "It's his mother's Gan Ning who can't get along with Lao Tzu!" "

Take the generals of the pro-soldiers to find Gan Ning in a menacing manner.

However, the result was that Yuan Xi was ruthlessly beaten by Gan Ning, and Yuan Xi almost vomited blood on the spot.

Yuan Xi, who was ridiculed, wanted to take down Gan Ning on the spot and punish Gan Ning for disobeying military orders, but Yuan Xi, who understood that Gan Ning was powerful, never dared to do so.

Leaving behind some painless scenes, Yuan Xi angrily left Gan Ning's big tent.

"General, you have offended the second son so badly!" Sun Jiang said worriedly.

Gan Ning said indifferently: "I'll take care of him!" "

General, have you thought about it, if the prime minister dies, this second prince is likely to be the successor!"

Gan Ning snorted, "Yuan Shao is still good to his Grandpa Gan, so Grandpa Gan plans to answer this favor."

Sun Jiang was taken aback when he heard the meaning of the words, "General, are you planning to abandon Yuan Shao?"

Gan Ning nodded, looked out of the tent and said: "Grandpa Gan originally wanted to defect to the Northern Army, but over the years, the Northern Army has been fighting in the west and the east outside the territory, which has made Grandpa Gan's heart itch, and a man should be like this in the world!" It's a pity that I'm afraid that Grandpa Gan won't have this blessing!

"Which prince does the general intend to defect to?"

Gan Ning rubbed his head, shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it then!" Sun Jiang shook his head with a wry smile and sighed in his heart.

The other side. After Yuan Xi came out of Gan Ning's big tent, his face was gloomy. "If you want to stay, stay it! Wang Kuang! Yuan Xi said suddenly. Wang Kuang turned out to be a powerful prince, but at the moment he was just a general under Yuan Shao who was not very important.

"Childe." Wang Kuang hugged his fists and promised.

"Order the three armies, continue to march north!" Yuan Xi ordered with a cold face.

Wang Kuang hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Second son, all battalions are already stationed at this moment, but I am afraid that forcibly pulling out will cause turmoil in the army's heart!"

Yuan Xi glanced around, and saw that the soldiers were all excitedly setting up tents, where did they want to continue to drive. I was suddenly angry in my heart, but I was helpless.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Xi said dejectedly: "Then let's repair it here for a day!" At this moment, Yuan Xi didn't know that it was precisely because they had been delayed here for a day that they had escaped the catastrophe.

After a day of repairs, the army continued to advance, and this time Gan Ning did not object. Another day later, the army came to the edge of Luoshui. At this time, Luoshui seems to be relatively dry, probably because the spring flood has not yet arrived.

As long as you cross Luoshui, you will be able to reach Luoyang in one day's journey, which also means that you will encounter the fierce Northern Expeditionary Army at any time. Yuan Xi did not dare to be careless and sent a large number of scout troops.

After confirming that there was no anomaly, Yuan Xi ordered a large force to wade across the river. At this time, Gan Ning spoke, "There is something wrong with the situation in Luoshui, the second son should not rush to cross the river first!" "
